The invention relates to panels having a decorative surface for forming a flooring, to a method for producing the decors and to a flooring made up of said panels. The invention finally relates to a decorative paper. The aim of the invention is to provide panels that allow to produce an inexpensive flooring having a high-quality appearance and to provide a corresponding method for producing them. For this purpose, the d&#xe9;cor surfaces of panels on at least one end each are optically adapted to each other to such a degree that, when the panels are laid, they give a continuous image of the d&#xe9;cor at the transition from one laid panel to the adjacent laid panel. The wood d&#xe9;cor has a continuous image within the meaning of the invention if the grain of the depicted wood is optically uninterrupted at the transition from one laid panel to the adjacent laid panel, i.e. when there is no offset between the respective depicted grains. The same applies for other decors, for example stone decors. In this case, the images of the stone surface are adapted to each other at the transition from one laid panel to the adjacent laid panel in such a manner that one stone extends from the one panel to the next panel without any noticeable offset of the d&#xe9;cor at the common joint of the panels.
